Summary0002658: Software limit on default text is inconvenience to choice selection
DescriptionI noticed that Composr is truncating the length of the default text field for Catalogue fields, despite the default column in the database being type longtext. This is an inconvenience to people who need long default text for choice type fields, as it cuts off the options.

What field type exactly?

Ok I think I understand now what you mean. I don't think anything is being truncated, I think the length of the input field is the issue. It was limited to 10000 characters.

I've now raised it to pow(2, 31) - 1 (~2GB) -- I've uploaded the change for you, hopefully that solves it.

It's the default value field for adding fields to a catalogue. Hmm... 10,000 characters doesn't seem right. My value was truncated at 255 characters I think. But hopefully your tweak will still work.
